Total Destruction of Camberwell Old Church by Fire
Fire gutted Camberwell Old Church on a Sunday night destroying an 1100 year old fabric. Two weddings were planned next day as the vestry room housed events amid a mass of ruins. Police and inspectors battled to save registers while engines struggled for water. The blaze, possibly from overheating furnaces feeding the organ loft and flue, left the tower and bells ruined and the church a total ruin with insurance estimated at about £4000 and losses around £10000. No lives were lost.
